Don't play with it

To those waiting on the latest Grand Etang post....... you shall have to wait a bit more. All the pics are on my mum's laptop and she has it. Plus, last week of school = most assignments, quizzes, exams, etc.

I'm currently working on my Invertebrate Zoology lab, but I'm getting a head ache. Thus, I've decided to take a quick break to post something.

Mussels! Under a dissecting microscope that is... (taken with my cellphone camera)


Since I'm drawing blanks for a topic beyond the internal structure of mussels... Whilst sitting in the hallway, the late afternoon sun casted an interesting light and I found myself taking pictures - - - of my hands.

If you've been following my blog regularly, you would've seen that I've only taken to painting my nails as of recent. That and cutting/styling my hair that is.

I've already lost momentum with the hair bit, too high maintenance. I'm just waiting for it to grow back so my typical "librarian bun" can happen with ease once more.

As for my nails, I used to find millions of excuses as to why not paint them. Previously, I used to use pastels and charcoals more actively as a favourite medium. As consequence, I used to keep my nails a bit shorter and well, my fingers were constantly covered with pigment stains.

This year, I've taken to using paints more. So instead of fingers, the rest of my body and clothes gets stained from my wildness. I know, I know, fail.

Sooo... seeing I've fallen in love with my hands and have become narcisstic with it and for my personal amusement - I'm going to post my collection of hand photos thus far. You can stop reading now if you like...



















And today

Cherise: How did u think i got so deep in it?

This is a hilarious post I saw earlier called "Didn't you see the signs?" on the I Should've Been a Stripper blog. (Don't judge me..hmph!)

This is just uber funny...

I stumbled across it by pure accident. It's highly sarcastic and yes, you're going to think "why doesn't she just leave already?!?!" But she eventually does and the 6-10 roller coaster ride posts are just way too funny. Well, at lease to me, and I have a weird sense of humour.... hmmm...

Ooo... and this is doubly interesting.... http://www.storiesfromourblackbooks.com/

My dad walked into the kitchen and spied a cockroach. Between him and the cockroach, it's uncertain as to who was more shocked. Upon seeing him the cockroach scampered across the cupboard, miscalculated the edge, so it practically "ran off a cliff." It crashed onto the floor... my dad's first thoughts "ouch.... *cringe* that must've hurt... I've seen too many parachuting movies to know what a good landing looks like."

Nothing really to update on. Midterms this week... and I'm lazy to write a proper post... I'll do a meme and then...Back to writing my essay.

New fave quote "I'm sure Osama Bin Laden cried when his cat died... but that doesn't mean you should get into a cave with him..." by Rebecca on my new fave show, Greek.

Muah muah!

How many people do you know are skilled in the art of messing up their OWN blog template...??? I don't even know how I managed such a feat. So I got a little carried away after I fell in love with the template and my genius blog name for my new photoblog "Don't take me home til the sun comes up". I felt it was too pretty for a photoblog and suited this one more... so I switched templates. Lo and behold, it was formatted to be a photoblog with a huge post and 3 columns of preview previous posts below. Thus, when I changed it here, it showed one post and had previews of all the others......which is all fine and dandy but I really hate having to click "read more" on post previews on other blogs. Perhaps it's laziness, perhaps it's lack of user friendliness, whatever it is - I don't like it.

So I switched it back. Epic fail. The photoblog is fine and in working order. I copied the exact xml code from the original template (because I copy-pasted it into Word prior to the switch). However, when I switched it back it the single column for the posts body came back up normal however it came up all in previews. *sigh* I couldn't the glitch in the code... And I even ponder tweaking both accordingly... But *sigh* that's way too much sifting and editing for me.

Long story short. New template.

Just.. Don't take me home... Till the sun comes up.

This is not what you seem to think it is. You know, those relationships where people are supportive and caring? The occasional teasing offset by the continuous flow of love in its numerous forms? The aww.... there goes a cute couple type?
